"Elevenses" was called "break" again today






Beautiful day again - a little cooler, but bright & sunny.
I went to Granville School in Swadlincote (without getting lost!) to collect materials for some work I have taken on. (foggy around Swad)
I stopped at Kingsbury school on the way home, to borrow some materials.
The school were doing a sponsored walk/run in the water park, in the sunshine & everyone enjoying themselves.
It was good to see everyone & catch up on the news.
Martin told me that my route to Swad could be improved - I did have my suspicions that the tour of the industrial estate may be unnecessary, but I didn't do a single 3 point turn!
I'll borrow the sat nav next time.
I shopped on the way home & am now in a position to feed a small army - just in case!
Any visiting army may choose to eat off the floors, which are gleaming.
I christened the sc1122 steam cleaner yesterday, cleaning all of the tiles, even under the appliances.
I award sc1122, 8/10 (I did have to operate it)

If you borrow the sat nav take it out of the car when parked or you may find it has found its own way to a new home. They are now the product of choice amonst the thieving classes. jen

Are you getting paid travel expenses? It's quite a long way there and Jen is right about those things being stolen, especially in Swad!

the photo of the leaves with the frost is excellent
the bench was purchased soon after we bought the Hampton Lane house - around 1967

Health Visitor's suggestion on cracking the sleep thing with Katie resulted in my spending almost 2 hours sitting in darkness her bedroom between 3.45 and 5.15 am this morning, with non-stop crying. In the end Ben had to take over, my ears were ringing so much I wasn't sure whether there was silence or crying. I also appeared to have hyperthermia. Not one of the best sleep solutions for anyone concerned really. Back to the drawing board...I have got a book from the library entitled 'The little book of sleep'.
P.S Katie woke up full of smiles. I feel like death warmed up. Ben says he is very very tired...
